Brand new condition. Super clean. Separate toilet. Big shower room. Also has a washing machine. Handy self-contained kitchen with all utensils. Great location, very close to Kyoto train and bus station and central to all tourist sites. Also supermarkets nearby. Staff were very helpful and phoned to book things that required Japanese language knowledge for us. No TV but wasn't a need for us. Good air conditioning/heating system. Quite big compared to general Japanese style.

Excellent instructions on how to find it from Kyoto station - except that Japanese stations have 2 sides - East & West ! We came out the wrong side - couldn't find the landmarks & had to take a taxi. Please leave the station at the side opposite from the taxis ! Then it really is a 6 minute walk.
It really is an excellent location - from Kyoto station you can get everywhere. I would definitely stay here again.
Nearby is a British pub which was fun & pleasant for a beer after a day's heavy sightseeing.
Also we were lucky to find an amazing Japanese Italian restaurant a few minutes away - Pacioccone with Chef Okuda Fiji. But go early because we went a second time & it was full.

Basically this was like a studio apartment which suited us really well as we could do washing, cook out own breakfast and the like.

It's more like a condo. Everything is just as new and clean as the pictures; the design of the room is also stylish facilitate with home appliances.
5 min walk from Kyoto Station, with a supermarket on the way. Really enjoy the stay

Good value; clean; excellent wifi; good location for a tourist (5 minute walk from bus / railway station. Very small - only 16 or so small apartments. Only saw one staff member (at check in) and no facilities.

Very clean, only thing was I requested a second floor balcony room they gave us a ground level flat. But no biggie. And watch out for those of u checking-in late, the have a different payment policy.
But we slept like babies. And will definitely come back, hope it's less pricey though.

Large rooms with full facilities including washing machine and kitchenette. More spacious than most hotels in this price range. Very helpful instructions on finding the otherwise inconspicuous location. Minutes from main station.

The property will contact guests via email after booking on instructions about check-in procedures.

Please inform Japaning Hotel Hakkoen of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details provided in your confirmation.

100% Verified Reviews

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full and as quickly as possible, provided the guidelines are met. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

눉Several restaurants nearby but none suitable for breakfast. Buy in or head for Starbucks at the station.

눉The one negative is the beds are very uncomfortable - definitely the most uncomfortable beds we have ever encountered in our travels. If they could replace the mattresses to ones where you can't feel every individual spring when you lie down on the bed, I would give it the place 5 stars.

눇Well equipped apartment style accommodation conveniently close to Kyoto Station (5 minute walk). It's not really a hotel in the sense that they don't tidy up your room daily or provide fresh towels. However, we loved having a washing machine and drying rack so that we could do laundry during our stay.

Roberta

눉There is no elevator so we had to carry bags up to the 2nd floor - but the young receptionist carried mine for me.

눉You need to pay everytime extra 2000 JPY to clean the room.
Towels are not changed by the service, you have to take them to the reception starting from 9 am. So if you plan to leave before 9 am, your towels will be dirty...
